Dog is bound by its own lead and left to drown in Lune
Thursday, 3 March 2011
The body of a dog has been found with its legs bound by its own lead, on the banks of the Lune Estuary.
The grim discovery was made by a member of the public close to the Snatchems area of Morecambe on Saturday 19th February. Lancaster City Council was notified of the findings and the body was removed and taken to White Lund Depot for further examination by the council’s dog wardens.
It seemed likely that the dog, died as a result of drowning after having its legs tied together by its own lead before being thrown into the water.
It sems to be a black Bull Terrier type dog with what appears to be a distinctive white patch around the top of its left hind leg, had no identity tag or chip,
We have chosen not to publish supplied photographs of the dead animal, as we feel they are too distressing. If anyone is missing a dog or has any information which might lead to the identity of the dog or its owner, they should contact the council's Dog Warden Service - tel. 01524 582935 .
The RSPCA has also been notified.

Disgusting. Anyone who could do that to an animal isn't fit to be walking our streets - there's something not right in their heads and they most likely present a danger to people too. A lot of murderers have been found to have previously tortured or killed animals before taking it a step further; they need to be caught ASAP.
